Episode 150 of the TBD POD dives into Tampa’s recent issues: the City Council’s $6 million streetcar expansion study, the debate over parking minimums in Ybor, and how micro retail like Casa Azul shapes small business success. Garrett and David break down the city’s $1.9 billion budget and cover the high-stakes District 5 special election. They also explore how social media is reshaping politics, why Tampa is now the least affordable city in Florida, and what national housing trends could mean for the city’s future.
